Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism (Mr. O'Donoghue)

South Dublin County Council has applied for grant aid for a proposed new swimming pool in Jobstown, west Tallaght. My Department has had contact with officials from the council about this application and another by the same council in respect of the refurbishment of the swimming pool at Clondalkin. The contract documents for both of these projects are under consideration in my Department.
